“Good morning world, as I blend my A Daily Celebration journal reflection in with the adjoining scripture please read (Ephesians 4:32) This is the guiding light and life changing verse that I have researched and picked to highlight my blog post today. Likewise, please enjoy my coordinating original Merry Mary blog thought that ties the scripture into my new A DAILY CELEBRATION book/journal quote which is as follows.( As you are looking back, and not looking forward. Are you wondering why you are Not Happy! Additionally, are you wondering if it’s possible to be Happy if you are always Sad, ANGRY or Plagued by the Haunted Past! Well, those inquiries have to do with the state of your heart and mind. Those released thoughts also have to do with what you left behind, or today what you hope to find. Saying that in life you WILL BE ANGRY, sad and Plagued by the Past. Likewise, you will also be ANGRY at the people who made or make you feel like that. But you must remember being ANGRY, sad, or Plagued by the Past accomplishes nothing!!! All those HAUNTED MEMORIES will do is to take the peace you need, away from you. That’s why to get OVER YOUR ANGER you must Forgive those who hurt you! And here’s something else you must do…. you must FORGET the things that DEVASTATED YOU! Because if you don’t Forget WHAT AND WHO TOOK HAPPINESS AWAY FROM YOU…you will bring your HAUNTED PLAGUED PAST into your Future! That’s why to be happy you must leave your HAUNTED PLAGUED PAST behind. Then you can Forgive those who hurt you! And just like your past anger, madness, and sadness will be through. So, to STOP BEING ANGRY…and to BE HAPPY don’t let the pain and conflict in the HAUNTED PLAGUED PAST take away your FUTURE HAPPINESS! Remember to be HAPPY you need to be tender hearted, compassionate, kind, and Forgiving all the time. Bottom line to FORGET THE TRAGIC THINGS THAT DEVASTATED YOUR LIFE. TO BE HAPPY… YOU MUST LEAVE YOUR ANGER, AND SAD HAUNTED PLAGUED PAST BEHIND.) Now as CHANGE my summer theme. Let me say HAPPY ANNIVERSARY to all those who are celebrating being married…And since this is my anniversary too….and NO I DO NOT USE THIS DATE FOR ANY KEY SEARCHES so my information is safe… Realizing that anniversaries can be happy or full of pain…I have been married two times. So, knowing what I am talking about when I say TO BE HAPPY YOU MUST FORGIVE AND FORGET. To help you put your PLAGUED HAUNTED PAST BEHIND YOU TOO…. Today, while totally changing my line of writing in an odd way. I am going to stop thinking about things that have to do with summer, and vacations. But thinking about TIME flying by. Right now, I will STILL be focusing on happiness, sadness, and even ANGER that comes into our life. So, knowing that everybody is happy but that you are Not! Now thinking about Anniversaries that have again come our way. I am wondering have you ever had a Happy Anniversary day? And asking you that cool lead in yearly question, are you wondering what an Anniversary has to do with being happy or FORGIVING. Likewise, are you questioning what an anniversary means to you? Well, my best guess would be… that TODAY that means Nothing too… But to me WHILE FINDING A WAY TO BE HAPPY WHEN I WAS ONCE PLAGUED BY MY HAUNTED PAST, saying HAPPY ANNIVERSARY means EVERYTHING! Because on my away back home, if you combine my two marriages I have just been happily married for 51 YEARS! So, Today absolutely means everything to me! And since this is my WEDDING Anniversary that got me thinking about the words Happy, Forgiving, HAUNTED PAST Anniversary AND THINGS THAT DO… OR DO NOT LAST. Then going along our way, I again started wondering….is an Anniversary just one day? And what about the word Happy? Is it possible to be Happy EVERY DAY? And thinking about the word HAPPY, what all is involved with being MARRIED FOR 51 YEARS!…Does that mean along the way I WAS ONLY HAPPY? DOES BEING MARRIED FOR 51 YEARS MEAN THAT THERE WERE NO TEARS? DOES BEING HAPPILY MARRIED FOR 51 YEARS MEAN THAT THERE WERE NO FEARS? And of even more interest DOES BEING MARRIED FOR 51 YEARS MEAN THAT THERE WERE NO FIGHTS OR ANGER? Bottom line of equal importance does being HAPPY MEAN THAT I FOUND THE WAY TO BREAK AWAY FROM MY HAUNTED PAST. So NOW THINKING ABOUT THE WORD FORGIVING, here is another SEEKING HAPPINESS question too. IS IT TRULY POSSIBLE TO BE HAPPY and FORGIVE YOUR WHOLE LIFE THROUGH? ALSO IS THERE REALLY SUCH A THING AS HAPPILY EVER AFTER TOO. Well again for me on my away back home, thinking about the words HAPPY, and FORGIVING. Today because I HAVE BEEN VERY FORGIVING…I AM HAPPY BECAUSE I HAVE ALSO FORGOTTEN. AND AS I LEFT THE PAST PAIN OF MY FIRST MARRIAGE BEHIND….I HAVE LEFT MY HAUNTED PLAGUED PAST BEHIND TOO. That means because I have forgiven and forgotten I can celebrate my 35th Wedding Anniversary that has brought me Happiness. And leaving the HAUNTED PAST behind, while surviving the Fights, Tears, Pains, Disappointments, Stress, Tests, Messes, ANGER, SADNESS, UNREST, DIVORCE AND REMARRIAGE. In FORGIVING those who hurt me many times, for different things…. I love that I have been HAPPILY married for 35 YEARS! Yes that all sounds good for me. But what about for you. Understandably to me, with the emphasis being placed on the word “HAPPILY” that’s exciting! No, I take that back, a 35-51 YEAR ACCOMPLISHMENT IS REALLY THRILLING! And that’s good to know, because being Happy to some people is still a mystery surrounded in Fear, ANGER, Tears, the HAUNTED PLAGUE PAST ALSO Sorrow! So, since that is true… KNOWING THAT YOU WANT TO BE HAPPY TOO. It looks like I need to make things clearer for you! Because I know right now you are wondering WHAT DOES it takes OR WHAT WILL IT TAKE OUT OF YOU….to be Happy and full of cheer EVEN IF ANGER, SADNESS, TEARS, AND FEARS HAVE FILLED SOME OF THE YEARS. And I know there are also some of you who are wondering WHAT WILL IT OR TAKE OUT OF YOU to be happily married for 35 YEARS! Additionally, I know that you are also wondering if you CAN be HAPPILY MARRIED…. if you KEEP LIVING IN FEAR. And how can you be Happy if you keep CRYING BIG TEARS? Also thinking about things differently. Can you be HAPPY if YOUR YEARS HAVE HAD ANGER AND SADNESS IN THEM TOO. AND in another CLUE can you be Happy if Love has never come near FOR YOU…Likewise Can you be Happy if you are NOT MARRIED?…And in that HAPPILY EVER AFTER REVIEW, IF YOU ARE ALONE AND THERE IS NOBODY AT HOME is it possible for you to have a HAPPY ANNIVERSARY too? Bottom line, can you be HAPPY if you are NOT HAPPILY MARRIED? And looking at your calendar realizing today is NOT YOUR ANNIVERSARY DAY… are you wondering why you are Not Happy In Any way! Are you also wondering why you are Angry and Sad while feeling empty inside Every day. Additionally, are you wondering if it’s possible to be Happy if you are always Angry or Mad night and day. Likewise, are you wondering what it will take or take out of you to be happy or glad while going along your way! Bottom line do you keep wondering why people are so mean to you and why they make you cry. Likewise, are you wondering why you keep so much hurt buried inside! Well, to find the answers to those questions you need to remember only you can make you Happy! So even though people in your life will make you sad or mad, when the fight, misunderstanding, or conflict finishes, those who hurt you or made you mad and sad, won’t even remember what they did, or why they did that! Therefore, if they can close angers door, and Forget what happened. Then you can Forgive them for hurting you. And just like that your anger and sadness will be over. So, to be happy don’t let the pain and conflict in life take away your future happiness. Remember to be happy you need to be tender hearted, compassionate, kind, and forgiving all of the time. BUT WAIT…. WHAT IF YOU CAN NOT FORGIVE, ALSO what if you can’t FORGET? So, once more wondering about the celebrating dates coming early or late surrounding Happiness… that might not come at all. FOR YOU TO HAVE A HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, here are some more questions for you over all! FIRST What is the secret to being happy? Where can you find that happiness key? How can you assure yourself a Happy Anniversary? And thinking that way I feel like a much better question should be!…… WHAT DOES IT TAKE, OR WHAT WILL IT TAKE OUT OF YOU TO BE HAPPY? Yes indeed “to be happy or not to be happy” that will always be the main conflicting nightmare, or dreamy question it seems! Therefore, trying to answer that CONFLICTED dilemma inquiry when everybody around you is always Celebrating something, and everybody else seems so FRIGIN Happy…. I have to ask you some more guiding questions. Is…ANYBODY really happy in their life? Or is Happiness just another unkind lie? Okay, is being happy just another heart attacking act? Is being happy an alibi?!And with everybody talking about happiness wondering WHO IS REALLY HAPPY. WITH YOU BEING SAD, ANGRY OR MAD ALL OF THE TIME….WHY ARE YOU NOT… HAPPY! And… WITH YOU WANTING TO HAVE A HAPPY ANNIVERSARY AS YOU KEEP TRYING TO SURVIVE THE FEARS, TEARS, also ANGER INSIDE, AND TO SURVIVE THE FIGHTS! Here is another question for you as the time is passing by….WILL YOU EVER BE HAPPY… IF ALL YOU DO IS CRY? And if you are sad, ANGRY, or mad ALL THE TIME, are you aware that the people who made you like that won’t EVER remember what they did or why they did that. So here is another thought IF THEY CAN FORGIVE AND FORGET.. you can too. Don’t let the past take your happy future AWAY FROM YOU! And thinking like that way one more time, what if you will never be happy with the same fat, snoring, lazy guy that you are sleeping next to, night after night. What if you find it hard to be happy fight after FIGHT! What if NOTHING IS RIGHT? What if you CAN NOT hang on? What if you are NOT THAT STRONG? What if you are UNABLE to endure the FEARS, also TEARS day and night? AND ONE MORE TIME! WHAT MAKES HAPPINESS SO FRIGIN HARD TO FIND! Also, on the other side OF MARRIAGE. What if you are a man living with the same old saggy WRINKLED woman. And as you are watching her put her makeup ON that’s not right. 35 YEARS LATER AFTER as her beautiful youth is gone and she is getting less attractive, while the stinky LYING creams are NOT WORKING. And her face is getting SCARIER day after frightening wrinkled displayed night. While time passes away WILL YOU STILL BE ABLE TO LOVE HER, OR HIM… OH NO WHAT IF AS YOU GET OLDER Happiness has NOT come to stay! OR ON THE OTHER SIDE OF LIFE… what if you are NOT married…. DOES THAT MEAN HAPPINESS WILL NEVER COME YOUR WAY? AND IF THAT IS THE CASE What then? What if you can’t be happy IN YOUR PLACE? OH NO WHAT IF THERE WILL NEVER BE A HAPPY ANNIVERSARY DAY? And feeling that lost way… are you wondering will you EVER have a Happy day if there is no Happily Ever After coming your way? And those are all good INSIGHTFUL SURVIVAL THOUGHTS ABOUT WHAT YOU HAVE OR WHAT YOU HAVE LOST! That’s why you need to remember when you are Angry, sad, or mad the people who made you like that won’t remember what they did, or why they did that. So, if they can Forget you can too. Don’t let the past take away your happy future. And saying that over again, that’s why, on your away back home, NOT WANTING YOU TO BE ALONE the answer to ALL OF THOSE insights is THIS! CONTENTMENT all depends on how you find your HAPPINESS! And finding HAPPINESS all depends on how you define LOVE and LIFE. And that all depends if you are searching for happiness on the OUTSIDE or INSIDE. So are you wanting to just be Happy on this earth with just one person! OR are you wanting TO BE HAPPY NOW and forevermore with the LORD and the Heavenly hosts ! Well as for me EVEN BEFORE I WAS MARRIED FOR 51 YEARS! HAVE YOU FOUND THE WAY TO BE HAPPY NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS?…..Well asking you that question….I have always FOUND HAPPIENSS ON EARTH HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH BEING MARRIED! Because TRUE HAPPINESS comes from INSIDE. TRUE HAPPINESS COMES FROM FINDING THE BEST THINGS IN LIFE. TRUE HAPPINESS COMES FROM BEING HAPPY WITH WHO YOU ARE. THAT’S WHY TO BE HAPPY INSIDE, AS YOU FIND THE BEST THINGS IN LIFE, WHILE YOU ARE HAPPY WITH WHO YOU ARE….. YOU NEED TO ACCEPT JESUS CHRIST AS YOUR SAVIOR, BECAUSE TRUE HAPPINESS IS NOT ABOUT BEING MARRIED. TRUE HAPPINESS IS ABOUT YOUR HEAVENLY SALAVATION DATE THAT YOU NEED TO RECEIVE. So yes I know…. having a Happy Anniversary day IS GREAT FOR ME! Yes being HAPPILY MARRIED FOR 35 YEARS while SURVIVING 16 MORE will always be very special indeed! And I know our love OF 35 YEARS daily NEEDS TO BE CELEBRATED! But I also know my wedding celebration pales in the presence of MY HEAVENLY HAPPILY EVER AFTER ANNIVERSARY DATE…That is my ETERNAL ANNIVERSARY that arrived on the DATE… I accepted JESUS CHRIST INTO MY LIFE. Because it has always been THE HAPPINESS I HAVE INSIDE…. THAT HAS LET ME FORGIVE AND FORGET. And that has KEPT ME HAPPY IN MY MARRIAGE AND LIFE EVEN WHEN I WANTED TO CRY. SO, YOU ASK ME HOW I HAVE STAYED HAPPY ALL OF THIS TIME. IT’S BECAUSE I KNOW JESUS CHRIST! YES, IT’S BEEN MY HAPPINESS INSIDE THAT HAS MADE SURE I ENDURED THE FIGHTS. IT’S ALSO BEEN THE HEAVENLY HAPPINESS INSIDE, THAT HAS MADE SURE I COULD SMILE THROUGH THE TEARS AND FEARS! LIKEWISE, IT’S BEEN MY INNER HAPPINESS… THAT HAS TURNED MY ANGER INTO LAUGHTER OVER THE YEARS! BOTTOM LINE…. IT’S BECAUSE OF JESUS CHRIST THAT I HAVE FORGIVEN AND FORGOTTEN….And HOW I HAVE BEEN HAPPILY MARRIED MOST ALL OF MY LIFE! SO HERE IS SOME GREAT MARITAL AND LIFE ADVICE..THAT WILL HELP YOU SURVIVE THE FACTS OF LIFE.FIRST AND FOREMOST FIND YOUR HAPPINESS INSIDE WITH JESUS CHRIST. SECOND FIGHT QUIET…That means if somebody picks a Fight DON’T FIGHT BACK! BE QUIET DON’T SAY A WORD. ALSO DON’T WALK AWAY. STAND STRONG IN THE LORD! LET THE OTHER ONE BE ANGRY! LET THEM YELL AT YOU!…BUT YOU STAY SILENT ALL THE FIGHT THROUGH…. THEN… PRETTY SOON WITH THEM LOSING THE FIGHT WITH THEMSELVES…. THEY WILL REALIZE THAT THEY ARE FIGHTING WITH ALONE. AND WHEN THEY DO FIGURE THAT OUT. AND WHEN THEY ARE TIRED OF YELLING AT THEMSELVES AND YOU. THEN THEY WILL GET QUIET TOO! AND IN THE FORGIVNESS, and HAPPY, PEACEFUL, QUIETNESS INSIDE OF YOU! THAT’S WHEN YOU TOO WILL WIN THE FIGHT BY FINDING HAPPINESS IN LIFE. AND HERE IS SOME MORE GOOD LIFE ADVICE.
